Other High School Newspapers
The newspaper that really caught my eye was the newspaper for Lafayette high school (http://issuu.com/lhsimage.com/docs/nov._8__2013). The format for the newspaper is really nice, simple and all together easy to read. There's not a lot going on, but it still manages to capture the viewers attention. The picture on the cover is also very attractive; simple and bright like the format of the newspaper. On this newspaper, there actually aren't any stories introduced. I find this odd, and a mistake for the editors of the newspaper.
The newspaper that interested me most was the newspaper for Carmel high school (http://issuu.com/hilite/docs/4.25.13_issue). The headline and picture really caught my attention because it's something that is interesting to me. The picture also serves to make me want to read the main article. The only headline on the newspaper is "[Fe]male", which intrigues me mainly because the of the format the word, "female" is in.
A lot of these newspapers have the usual newspaper format; a title, a main headline, some pictures, a main story, a few other headlines and some sub headlines. Some other newspapers don't have this format, however, and instead have more of the magazine-type format; one big picture covering the whole front page. Some of these look similar to the professional newspapers we looked at the other day, but others are very different.

Front Pages of the World
My favorite front page is the one for the Austin American Statesmen. I like how it has pictures as well as text and they seem to balance each other out. I also like how in the top of the paper, it has pictures and the titles of articles inside the paper. My favorite headline on the front page is the one for the main article: "Refusals of Vaccines Triple in Texas Since '07". I'm interested in it because it's a big issue right now in the US, so I would really like to read more about it. I would also like to hear the writer's opinion on the issue.
There are 16 previews of stories on the front page. Some, like the main article, are rather long previews while others are just the headlines of minor articles. I noticed most of the newspapers share this trait. Some newspapers however, have very little pictures and lots of text. This seems to be more common in newspapers from different countries.
